Going to Mexico this winter for three weeks. Taking my Marlin rod, but would like to take a rod for those times we run into Dorado when trolling for Marlin. Thinking about the Okuma Nomad inshore travel rod in medium heavy and the Okuma Cedros CJ55 spinning reel. Any thoughts on this set up ?

Sorry for missing this thread. What you are thinking may work for you, but that sounds like a very light setup. May give you some use from shore, but more often than not ones working with lines 30-40# test and the reel and rod might be a bit light for that application.
